Yet another source code question

[silverleaf]

Question: when was the last time someone actually asked for the source code? If the devs can get it, they can finally fix that sound problem bugging many of us (or rather, no sound), and the possibility of more station and planet designs, and more interior designs (some planets and all stations look alike).

If not, why not? And I'll sign the petition too.

I think the petition is already up, I signed it a few months ago, I found it on ModDB.

They could solve many of disco's problem with the soruce code, including mass/physics. Adding custom weapon slots (like a level 6 turret slot, more)

Well obviously no one besides us fans are going to check that. I mean when was the last time someone actually sent them a real proper request, by phone or email, followed by a link to the petition?

In fact, who DO we call?

I bet that won't work.

As long as you can buy Freelancer in stores you won't see the source code.

All the same, I'd like to see if I get a nice response, a 'maybe' response, or an all out 'i hate you' response from microsoft. Lots of games have released source code when they are still on shelves (freespace 2 particularly).

How many people play this anyway? I believe discovery is the only server with more than 100+ players throughout the day.

it's bill gate's e-mail, i sent him an e-mail concerning FL2, and how i'd sell my sould for it, and of course it was bashed to near-death by the worlds most powerfull anti-spam filters, then tubemailed to a lowly microsoft drone who replied that i should not sell my soul to microsoft for FL2 or for anything.

so chances are that's the way to go.
